Absolute legend. Jim is the kind of contractor you hope to find but almost never do. Another company quoted me nearly ten times more by adding unnecessary work, but Jim was completely honest about what actually needed to be done. He fixed my broken septic pipe quickly, correctly, and with real care. The quality of his work is fantastic. I need to relocate my water softener into a drywell and I'll be calling him. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
My fiance, Susan, and I are moving to Bethel CT. Jim Caraluzzi completely supported the inspection of our new home's septic system under the time constraints of our closing process in a professional, transparent, and honest manner. Jim is an exceptional person and great communicator. I would highly recommend him and his company.
Received a reply within two hours., Jim came the same day to view the project and offered a straightforward and knowledgeable solution. Promised and delivered a reasonable estimate the next day. Work was started and completed two days later exactly as proposed. I couldn't be happier and highly recommend him. Don't waste time looking elsewhere
Jim did a great job on our septic tank installation and kept me informed every step of the way.
Jim is a reminder of how things used to be done.. A tradesman who lives up to his promises and in fact exceeds expectations
